Why is he reviewing that? That’s plumb

Same old same old, road of a pitch and we can’t make a big score. Smith will get this himself

 

[The Wizard]

Curran absolutely plumb LBW. No ball

Good to see you keeping an open mind !

Atherton on sky just summed it up, the Aussies have been super generous this morning/afternoon, choosing to bowl first, dropping 3 catches a no ball dismissal and we are still well behind in the game.

Tell you what, Mitch Marsh looks like a handy bowler, getting massive swing and bowling at much higher speeds than usual.

This really in't very good.

I am embarressed to admit it....but I cant watch this pathetic display any more.
Antiques Road Trip now on BBC 2....at least I dont swear at the tv every time they throw another wicket away.

And why are people not picking up these Marsh balls on leg?

Earlier I saw the BBC website headline was Root puts England on top.

Bit premature I thought, the sort of headline that needs to be put up at least in the afternoon session of day 2 to have any statement of truth.

It’s a combination of a disgraceful lack of application and horrendous decision making shown by our batting line up and admittedly fantastic bowling from the convicts. At this point I’m very close to just switching this farce off.

Sold our soul to the one-day game.

Archer is so ungainly
Cummins is quite the bowler.

And ironically now we can’t even bat for a day.

I can't stand watching Archer bat at this level.

I can't stand watching Archer bat at this level.

He’s a number 11 at test level.

Archer is a walking wicket, classic example of a bowler who thinks he’s better at batting than he is

Sussex need a wicket or two far more exciting

Same could be said for some higher up the order.
Leach knows his limitations and is all the better for it. Technically one of our sounder players.

Broad at 11? He won’t be happy with that.

I know that it seems I am having a go at Root again but yet again he gets to 50 but cant go on to a big score perhaps he should watch Smith to see how it is done.
